A Newleaf Adventure

Cool waves splashed up against her legs as Bluepaw ran along the shore. Mud was
caked around her legs and Fernsky would sure be mad but she didn't care. It was so much fun, so peaceful and calm out now that even having a mad mother would be worth it. She was out collecting
herbs for Thrushtail, an elder and probably the most annoying cat in SnowClan. The fresh newleaf breeze carried the delicious scent of catmint, good news for her mentor Echolight. A large deciduous
tree spread out its strong branches right over a twoleg nest, making it easy to get into.

Bunching up her strong legs, Blupaw sprang and gripped the soggy bark with her
claws. Tasting the air, she smelled the stale scent of kittypet. Oh well. It was just a risk she had to take. She skillfully landed on all four paws and bounded over to the catmint. Using her
teeth, she carefully pulled off some leaves when a growl sounded behind her.

"This is my territory! Leave now or I'll shred you!" Bluepaw's heart thumped in her
chest as she spun around. An old mangy tom with brown matted fur stood before her. He smelled disgusting; kittypet scent clung to him along with a faint scent of crow food. Scars showed on his fur
as he dug huge claws into the ground.

"What I do here is none of your business! So leave me alone and stay out of it you
stinky piece of fox dung!" Bluepaw yelled, trying to sound brave. Her father Limetail had told her that kittypets could be aggressive, but if you show them that you're not afraid to fight they
might back off. He growled at her, an amused grin spreading across his face.

"It will take more than that to send me fleeing to my twolegs. All you clan cats
think kitttypets will let you get away with anything if you show them your claws. I've learned a few fighting moves and I'm not afraid to use them." He responded, clearly confident in his ability.
Bluepaw nearly jumped on him. She needed that catmint. Her clan needed it. Instead, she glanced up over his head and yelled "Dog!"

The kittypet just snarled. "I'm not that dumb. You're 'dog' is just a distraction."
A loud bark sounded behind him as a large dog pounced on the kittypet from behind. He let out a yowl and racked his massive claws across the dog's smelly fur. Without hesitation, Bluepaw grabbed
the catmint and launched herself into the tree, just missing the kittypet's outstretched claws by a whisker.

"Don't you dare come back!" He called back. A loud rumbling noise made Bluepaw turn
around. A monster was entering its den. Some twolegs raced out and into the kittypet's "territory" yelling and chasing out the dog.

Maybe I should really find another place to collect herbs. Bluepaw thought. I
escaped this time, but next time he'll be waiting! She stopped at a clump of yarrow, pulling off some leaves and continued her journey back to camp. Just wait until Violetkit and Stormkit, her
younger siblings, heard about this. They'd be sneaking out of camp to chase out the mangy old kittypet! She'd better tell Fernsky to keep an extra close watch on them. Bluepaw thought as she padded
into the SnowClan camp.
